Manor Caen (14)by patrice besse

$2,064,800
In Normandy, between Bayeux and Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, near to the beaches and main D-Day Landing sites, a 19th-century manor house, with an orangery, 16th-century stables and outbuildings, on 5 hectares of land, two of which can be built on with planning permission. A small country road heading to Port-en-Bessin-Huppain winds through the village of Commes and along the edge of the estate. The medieval style tower and Norman house built with stone and timbered framing on the one hand and the stone estate keeper’s house on the other hand act as a wall marking the entrance to the manor’s estate, which can be seen on the right. The west-facing orangery is slightly set back from the manor house itself. The estate is completed by the stables at the rear of the plot. The manor house has three storeys, including an attic, and is made of rubble stone. The harmony and symmetry around the grand entrance on the main façade, which is split into three sections, is what characterises the overall architecture.
The gabled roof in natural Spanish slate has three fancifully shaped gable dormers topped by a pinecone decorative feature. This symmetry can also be seen in the way the façade is punctuated with rectangular, ashlar-framed stone cross-windows illuminated by stained glass in a range of colours and shapes. In the middle of the ground floor, the double entrance door stands in an arched opening dotted with many architectural features. The entrance is framed on each side by a narrow window as well as a buttress and is topped by triangular terminal, supported by two columns, adorned by a pinnacle on which there is a statue of a guard dog holding a coat of arms depicting the date of the most recent renovation in 1900. The more complex rear façade can be seen from the road. At the corner stands a square tower that is the same height as the manor house. There is also a semi-hexagonal tower, topped with crenelations, in which there is an entrance door.
